Mastering Lithium-ion Battery Safety

Mastering Lithium-Ion Battery Safety is the definitive guide for professionals responsible for keeping lithium-ion batteries safe throughout their entire lifecycle-from manufacturing and testing to storage, transportation, integration, recall response, and end-of-life management.Written by the expert team at Americase International: Americase, Fulcrum Testing, and HazMat Safety Consulting, this practical handbook delivers real-world solutions to the most pressing challenges in lithium-ion battery safety. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience-including direct support for the landmark Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall-you'll learn how to prevent thermal runaway events, design and certify custom containment systems that exceed regulatory requirements, and navigate the complex global framework of DOT/PHMSA, UN Model Regulations, IATA/ICAO, and IMDG rules.Inside you'll discover: Why laboratory testing to failure is the only reliable way to set safety margins and prevent accidentsStep-by-step guidance on DOT Special Permits (including DOT-SP 16011) for safely shipping damaged, defective, or recalled (DDR) batteriesProven engineering strategies for fire-containment packaging, thermal insulation, and multi-modal logisticsInsider insights from key SAE G-27 and J3303 committees shaping future lithium-battery standardsPractical frameworks for recall management, supply-chain resilience, and sustainable end-of-life solutionsWith a foreword by Bob Richard-former Deputy Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety at PHMSA and former Chairman of the UN Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods-this book bridges the gap between regulatory compliance and real-world operational success. Whether you manage battery manufacturing, hazardous materials logistics, data-center energy storage, electric vehicle programs, or product safety compliance, Mastering Lithium-Ion Battery Safety gives you the tested tools, regulatory clarity, and engineering strategies you need to protect people, infrastructure, and your brand.Clear, actionable, and written by the industry's most trusted practitioners, this first-edition handbook is essential reading for safety engineers, EHS professionals, compliance officers, logistics managers, and anyone working at the intersection of lithium-ion technology and hazardous materials transport.Mastering Lithium-Ion Battery Safety - because in a lithium-powered world, safety is not optional. It is engineered. Read more
